“I’ve Had it Up to Here” by Cybersmythe

You know what? I’ve had it up to here (points to neck, thinks better of it and points to top of head) with people telling me I’m going to regret Trump’s presidency. The last couple of weeks, I’ve been bombarded on all sides by stories about how Trump voters started regretting their votes on Inauguration Day and there’s an avalanche, or perhaps even a cascade, like one of preferences, that is causing MAGAts, whoever they are, to rue the day, and we’re...

Don’t Fall For It

One thing I’ll say for our side of the political equation. We seem to have become slightly more immune to psy-ops, or perhaps less willing to go along with anything the left tries to prod us into doing.

These days, it looks like when they need a patsy they have to actually recruit and pay them, which they’ve apparently been doing to get people to “talk back” to Republican representatives at townhalls, or use bots. Now the AI bots are getting better, but you can still tell if the person yo...

No More Canceling now, liberty book promo

How we got here: Some of you are probably aware of the kerfuffle where Devon Eriksen was kicked out (on spurious grounds) from a contest he never entered because he said things the left does not like on X.

During that I became aware of how little visibility our side of the political divide (aka those to the right of Lenin) get for their Indie efforts. Part of it is that we truly suck at organizing/doing anything in a group.

So all the groups are left-leaning or the vocal people in the gr...

The Far View

Some of you know that this week — other than the zombie dishwasher (yes, again. habitues of the blog know there was another zombie dishwasher now almost 20 years ago, in another state. I swear I don’t do anything to them. In both cases, they were in houses we bought.) — I’ve been making unkind and untoward comments about Europe and the thought processes or what passes for them over there.

Mostly because I’m amazed the very people who taught me to be distrustful of everything I see on mass...

Dishwasher Emergency Today

Promo tomorrow evening, promise.

The Spirit of the Age, by Richard Bledsoe

*Before we get on with the guest post let me explain how it came to be. I’ve known Richard for ten? twelve years? And though we’ve never met in person face to face and I’m an artistic philistine who thinks art can always be made better with more purple, more agonized expressions and a bit more gold, and going for barroque, we became friends. I started admiring Richard, his thoughts as expressed at , and yes, his art, which has a direct truth to it combined with artistic fa...

Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike – VERY Special edition

*Never in my wildest dreams did I think there were enough indie writers within the reach of this blog who didn’t mind being associated with my notorious pro-liberty blog. I thought I’d do maybe two or three extra night posts.

I guess this is what a preference cascade looks like, or as we find ourselves saying these days “Nature is healing.”

Well, I’m traveling on Thursday next week, and I can’t afford to be doing this every night for another week. Fascinating though this new hobby is, I ha...

Not doing promo post tonight

Doing big one tomorrow. Thanks. Just tired.

More Authors On The Side of Liberty!

Good Evening, freedom lovers who are tired of giving money to those who hate us. You don’t have to do that anymore.

So, this is how I acquired a new hobby of daily — evening — promo posts, instead of just the usual Sunday promo post. (A hobby my husband is mildly puzzled by.)

Some of you are probably aware of the kerfuffle where Devon Eriksen was kicked out (on spurious grounds) from a contest he never entered because he said things the left does not like on X. But that’s not important, ri...
